ishbindeinvater Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 lv 21 assassin here, got about 10 levels just doing warzones (more fun than doing same quests again, got a lv 28 sorc) what i am wondering: i am trying to contribute to my team and going for "objectives" and not just for damage. means trying to protect the ball carrier or scoring myself, planting bombs, defending turrets... after a while of playing i recogniced i am not getting points for objectives for example scoring a ball in huttball or for planting the bomb in voidstar. i mean, what else are OBJECTIVES?! i recognized that doing damage gives you just more valor and medals (in fact its going dark charge and protect someone a little till 3 medals, then surging charge and killing some). this is really stupid and should be changed. but please explain me: what are the objectives in the warzones and when do you score? another question: what does it bring when you get a MVP point? yes and another noob one: what does +15% expertise mean?

Objectives give you a ton of experience and stuff, because if nobody does them you loose the game and get jack. The system seems borked though, as they should also reward you personally. Most of the obj points are gained through defending objectives, not attacking them. It's easy to farm 10k+ obj on Alderaan just by protecting one of the turrets all the time. 2. MVP is a bonus to valor, cash and commendations. A pretty nice one too. 3. Expertise is a purely PvP stat boosting both your damage and damage reduction in PvP combat. Useless in PvE though.

ishbindeinvater Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 thx for the answer. so when i am defending turrets (means: killing people or doin damage to people near of the turrets?) i get points for objectives. NOT: activating the turret or helping to activate them (=attack)? thats lame! ok, this is for alderaan warzone. what about huttball: i am rarely scoring with the ball (lv 21 assassin isnt the best ball carrier) but i did score some. never get a point. thats ... pointless :-) what does give you objective-score for huttball? another one: bubbling other ones or yourself (sorceror) or healing up yourself gives points for healing? void star: what do you have to do there to get objective points? i planted bombs and activated the bridge and was going to be happy having a lot of points .... then end of game and what? zero points?! i wasnt happy anymore and thought, ok, then its just killing people...

Kalantris Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 so when i am defending turrets (means: killing people or doin damage to people near of the turrets?) i get points for objectives. NOT: activating the turret or helping to activate them (=attack)? thats lame! You do, but the easiest way is to protect, not to cap. You get the reward once for caping, but get continuous rewards for defending (dealing damage around the objectives). what about huttball: i am rarely scoring with the ball (lv 21 assassin isnt the best ball carrier) but i did score some. never get a point. thats ... pointless :-) I'm totally out of ideas as far as Huttball is concenred. I think you get objective points for damaging the enemy carrier, as I recall I got quite a lot on a scenario I played defence and destroyed the enemy carrier a dozen times and then passing the ball to someone playing offense. another one: bubbling other ones or yourself (sorceror) or healing up yourself gives points for healing? Yep, you get points for healing, but I'm not sure if bubbling counts as healing. The easiest way to get a crapload of healing is spamming AoE heals on the respawn before the scenario even starts. I've seen people do it a lot. void star: what do you have to do there to get objective points? i planted bombs and activated the bridge and was going to be happy having a lot of points .... then end of game and what? zero points?! i wasnt happy anymore and thought, ok, then its just killing people... Kill people trying to plant a bomb or in direct vicinity of the doors. Destroy people planting, opening bridges, whatever. Interrupt them and, most important, KILL EVERYFREAKINGONE .

Desiriel Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I didn't get any points too even if I healed all around and got some hits on the ball carrier in huttball. Everyone else did though. I'm still missing the whole mechanic. Anyone has a link to some explanation page ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
